Hi,

On wrapping a pattern on a cylinder the machine will effectively(once Z has positioned for depth) be only moving your rotary axis and one liner axis(on my config A and X). You can only have G02/G03 moves on planes across linear axis, not rotary axis, except for lead in/out moves.

A wrapped tool path around a rotary axis will have to do a multitude of small point to point moves, the distance between these points will be effected by the path/smoothing tolerances and therefore increase your program size.
